actually, I'm starting to think he is the guy we usually call Tamerlane. hmm. Problem with Timur is that he isn't really as well known. Though, from what I read he was very impressive. Still, Ghengis Kahn really stands out for his influence. At his influence was a result of his pillaging. Also, "strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government."
Yes, that is correct. Both names are correct, but it appears Timur Lenk is more common on Swedish and other languages, whereas Tamerlane is used by English-speakers.
OH, it's Tamerlane lol, that makes a lot more sense to me now, never heard him called Timur Lenk.
